Matt Bomer at HFP Press Conference Oct 2011
Oh my dear readers, words can not begin to describe how much I love this man, Mr Matthew Bomer! He is always so polite to everyone and never says a bad word about anything or anyone. He is quite simply, according to everyone I know who has met him, every bit the gentleman. And we all lust after him. My best friend recently called him “the thing” and when I asked her why, her response was “Look at him! He is too perfect to be human!”
At the start of 2011, I decided to take up the WordPress challenge to post to my blog every week. For the most part, I have managed to do this although some weeks, I would find myself publishing two or three posts followed by a week of absence. I usually feel bad when I miss my self-imposed deadline (I decided to post by Saturday every week since I realised readership is highest on weekends) but it is never for lack of trying. For example, I have four incomplete and one completed posts sitting in “Draft” status right now. It’s just that, well, some weeks, I am just too lazy to update. I won’t lie – laziness is to blame. I wish I could just be Bruno Mars…
Villains of White Collar
OK if you have been reading my blog for a while or have been following me on Twitter, you’ll be well aware of my addiction with TV show White Collar. As my mother always said, if I only put this much energy into studying I’d have had better grades (having an MBA isn’t enough? :)). For the record, I believe that White Collar is a highly educational show! Check out my “Ten Things I Learnt From White Collar” post. And if you are still not convinced, you can also find the show has made it into Wikipedia (Season 3, Ep 7).
If you were one of the lucky attendees at the “White Collar Fans at SDCC” party in San Diego during the annual Comic Con (“SDCC”), you may have picked up a copy of a crossword puzzle prepared by the party organisers based on questions prepared by me. If you weren’t there (join the club :() then here’s your chance to take the quiz and test your knowledge!

2011 SDCC TV Guide Covers
From 21st to 24th July, 2011, the world’s largest convention for comic enthusiasts will take place in San Diego. You may have heard of it – the San Diego Comic Convention – SDCC. When this convention originated in 1970, it was attended by a few hundred fans of comic books and science fiction – Batman, Superman, The Avengers, Spiderman…you get the idea. Of course, we cannot forget the Trekkies and the Star Wars fanatics. You couldn’t consider yourself a true comic enthusiast unless you could speak Klingon.
I don’t pretend to know anything about this event except that over the years, this gathering of “comic geeks” has grown and now includes a galaxy of stars from the small and big screens. Tickets were so in demand that the online sales service was not able to cope with the surge of orders when they were first released. The server crashed, although this might say more about the event’s lack of organisation than anything else, but tickets were released again a few months later. Still, to the fans who desperately wanted to attend, tickets were hard to come by. Even the process the press has to go through to get their passes seemed ridiculously complicated, but I have been told it is worth the effort.
I don’t know about you but I find little kids (by this I mean, pre-teens) fascinating. They are adorable – most of the time. I don’t have kids of my own but I have a nephew, 8 3/4 – when they’re that young, every month is important when stating their age – and he is a constant source of amusement and entertainment for the family. It’s a good thing that he loves being the centre of attention because as the only grandchild in the family, he has taken centre stage since the day he was born.
I believe adults, particularly those without children, often under-estimate the intelligence of children. My nephew made it into the finals of his school’s public speaking competition for the second year in a row and I went along to show my support. The kids were required to write their own speech that was to last three minutes and were given the following topics to choose from:
There were two groups of competitors: Stage 2 for 3rd and 4th graders and Stage 3 for 5th and 6th graders. My nephew was runner-up in the Stage 2 group.
